In this first installment of the #PropagandaWatch series, James breaks down the latest advertising/conditioning campaign from Kia preparing us for the driverless future. Who will save the residents of Neverland from the perils of traffic jams? Why, Peter, Kia, and driverless technology, of course! Blecch.

My mom used to tell me the story of the King of Prussia (or bavaria depending on how much she had drunk) and how he wanted his people to eat Potatoes because they grew fast and were cheep but people flat out wouldnt touch them.
So he built a garden with a wall that was low and guards to watch it but they were told never to catch anyone and then he forbade poor people to eat potatoes… rapidly the stolen potatoes were planted all over his state and people were happy to give “the man” the finger by eating the rich mans potatoes ….. lol

This is a very old story. It originated in Ireland in circa 450AD but has been repeated, changed and used all over the world by governments. In fact, it is taught in specialized intel military classes to illustrate points that are used in practice. The reason? It is completely true in humanity: denial = demand. Populations can and are moved to do as governments desire through this illustrated “fairy tale”.

Wow! I just got out of a class with a guy who sells steel to car companies etc. and who sees car model blueprints 5 years before they’re on the roads.

He told me all about the driverless cars he’s seen models for… the thing that marked him was that they’re full of screens, he says… to make people forget that they’re afraid of not being in control of the car themselves.

He says that the car companies claim that these driverless cars will be prevalent in 5-10 years but he personally doubts that’s possible.

I spoke about TED TALKs to him, he’d never heard of them and his knee-jerk remark was that they’re “Dangerous”. ‘They’re dangerous propaganda’ he says. Which of course sounds pretty accurate to me…

So with that in mind, the first propaganda piece I can think of here without straining my vacationing brain is Sam Harris’ TED TALK that insidiously demonstrates that humanity must adopt brain-computer interfaces as quickly as possible before getting stomped on by AI while appearing to say that he personally has no solution except saying “we need something like a Manhattan Project…not to build AI ’cause we’re gonna do that anyway, but to find a way to avoid an arms race and build it in a way that is aligned with our interests.”

So basically he’s suggesting we’re in a war with AI? And so must quick quick find a way of putting it into our heads so that its survival instincts include preserving us humans who are graced with a limbic system?

Thanks James, you at lest opened the door to the esoteric visual clues that this crowb of want to bee a honey harvesting beelivers can enter. Boadswell for tough times ahead. 5g commercials started today here in OK. Enagadget (end-all-gadget) 5g antenna roll out for your phones ready,get yours today. What an pshy-op on the the blind. Beautiful story Duck! Here’s one. The one- eyed man is King in the land of the blind. That’s how it works. Draw them out. Then see who has sight. Use-um-or looze-em! James you are one of the best at this. Lets see how many can count the priesthood penis envy images in the K ia ad. Tizz a puzzel James wants you to solve. Go 2 it me mate-eez. Brilliant work James!

P.S. wake up. Where are you right now? This very second. Ok where were you in 1970?
Here is some one eyed poetry or music from then.:
By Ian Anderson. See(its already started)
Title “Inside” tells a story he lived or was living at that time.
One verse : Take a walk in the park
Sound like music to you?
Well Im thinking it does to me.
Another: Counting lambs, counting sheep
We all fall into sleep
And awake to a new day of living
and loving you so.
That was 48 years ago you were put to sleep. Get ready for your make-up call. The they will be loving you (oh) so ! Now why are you here in this honey pot and not out working to fix it like you have been fixed? You where lead here by a master of his time like Ian (Mr.) Anderson. Prob. React. Sol. Oh me brothers its all esoteric. Wake up! MBP U R CLOSE. Hint: so is (oz) os.
Cause we are forced to use a crafted language. ENGISH!

Reminded me of how, as a child, everything one does from the most exceptional to the most banal is infused with a magical promise, the promise that anything is possible steeped in the wonders of existence…

and how adult life when savouring the moment, the early morning, the golden evening, smell of the neighbor’s dinner cooking, is unconsciously seeking, almost…relaxing into the echo of that promise, breathing in that immortal promise,…diluted… the fragmented memory of anticipation, and a singular pulsing of eternity…

Thanks James. I always love it when cultures clash in marketing crap like this. You’d think these companies would learn to use culture specific marketing techniques, but nope. Not gonna happen. At least I’ve learned one more reason to never step into a driver-less car; locking the doors on me and driving me to prison! I could see that situation happening. Though I’d rather walk than ride in one of those. JimBob who’d like to go walking more often but this danged rain just keeps on coming.

Thanks mkey, what with my plummeting karma here, I had completely forgotten to add my propaganda favorite: Adam Curtis – The Trap! I just love how they keep using the same model which shows a paranoid schizoid’s perspective, even after knowing it is so flawed (but it’s simpler to do it this way!). I especially love it that the originator of this model is the only one screaming about the flaw. JimBob who is enjoying his fall from grace as it just demonstrates how karma is just as fleeting a fame.:

Hey Pearl! I think it’s funny. After all, I’m still breathing in the same as before. It’s almost as if this karma thing doesn’t mean squat in real life. What I find so funny is that someone is going to all this effort to achieve something that doesn’t make any difference at all. Well, I guess it matters to them, but if just makes me laugh. I actually just tried to down-vote my own as my new goal is to hit zero! Imagine going from 98 to zero. Like from hero to zero! JimBob who directs some of that laughter at whomever is doing it just because he knows they’re so childish.

It’s a very trashy movie. There’s something special about this type of film, it’s quite incredible someone would set off to start filming something like that and, for whichever reason, see it to the end.

Also, what about the things they are NOT talking about? While all the people are obsessed with the obvious things like Q; things like RealID required for all domestic flights soon in the US are not being addressed. After all, most of these propaganda points (not climate change, that is a whole ‘nutter can of worms, and a good point to bring up) are out there merely to distract us from what is actually going on. Pokemon, being one of them. JimBob who also finds it amusing that the Q guy has left enough clues for a hacker to figure out who he is, but they’ve all been so busy following his bread crumbs they haven’t bothered.

They used to say that you can’t make a building free-fall into its footprint with office fires and that car upholstery can’t last longer than seconds in a vacuum at cooking temps (alternating with freezing temps). They also used to say that Steven Seagal would never win an Oscar.

I am happy that the flooding in Japan is behind you now, and yourself, family and friends are all safe and back into rebuilding mode…

Talking of rebuilding.. I would like to address the issue of Data collection from your members (including Unique Machine identifier) every time we engage the comments system. I understand you don’t keep the data, but Akismet are collecting the data on your behalf, and we don’t actually know what they are doing with this data.

I have 3 suggestions which you can implement to stop this if you choose. (i have mentioned these before, but you had a lot on your mind.)

1- Stop Akismet immediately, and appoint few human moderators on volunteer bases. This will ensure no spam, and no inappropriate language on the site.

2- Stop hosting your site on WordPress which forces you to use their tools, and start hosting your website on your own server using GoDaddy or alternative and that way you can control what data to collect or not without any interference.

3- Tell your members that you don’t plan to do either, and they can like it or lump it. which is also fine, and then we have a choice to vote with our feet. But from that moment on, stop having a go at Google or Facebook for collecting data, as this makes you the same as they are.

Just remember, I am not criticizing just for the sake of it. I have implemented security for myself from day one and I am safe, but many members on this community don’t understand IT enough to secure themselves, and they could end up on some watch list, or travel ban list without being aware.

If the risk is low today, you know well it is increasing everyday as authority deem Corbett Report site as “fake News”

It’s a good thing you warned me for insulting you while you’re the only one throwing insults here. In my view, that’s always an indication of a feeble mind.

I’ll again direct you toward Corbett’s reply to you baseless insinuations. If he states he himself does not collect data, considering his body of work, considering the manner he uses to express himself, I’ll take his word for it. Especially considering you are the one making claims to the contrary. Completely baseless claims.

The Real Issue here is: Corbertt Report Website is collecting data on all of US…

Here’s Corbetts’ reply to you. Knowing the man as much as I can over the web I don’t think he’ll waste any more time on you. I’m also done with ya, “Voice of Arabi” which is an incredibly sanctimonious screen handle, when you think about it.

Hey Drunky! Your fake question has been answered ad nauseam here. You sound just like our MSM who keeps going crazy about this Russian Collusion thing. Did their madness spread to all their dis-info; or are you just a natural dis-info be virtue of your mental instability? JimBob who notes that the Drunken Arab is probably being rescued by the Israelis along with his other friends in white and that’s why there is no no-fly zone where he is at. Which is not in any desert as deserts have low humidity; not high. Saudi being about as humid as west Texas.

Voice of Alcohol, once again you just call people dis-info because you don’t like what they say. Mkey is correct; you are again just being a jerk about it. But speaking of roles; let’s see how your character looks to others.

1- You have placed yourself as an expert on Desert Storm/Shield despite your being wrong on so much of it. However, the following points were observed by me.

a- You base your info on getting drunk at a bar with pilots and from skulking around King Fahd airport during the conflict. And of course, you remember trivial details like water brands, but always skip important details like massive troop buildup times. The methods you employed are those of espionage agents. Not saying you are one, just pointing it out.

b- You constantly twist words around to suit your purpose and confuse the issue. You then claim you don’t speak English well enough which is an obvious lie.

2- You call everyone here; from James Corbett to Pearl, Mkey, and myself dis-info for no other reason than we don’t have the answer you want. Which is rather childish.

3- You offer only problems with others while providing no solutions.

4- You have stated how suspicious you are of the people you deal with. Indeed, you are suspicious of everyone here as well. This harks back to the old adage of noting what type of people someone hangs out with in order to determine their own character. Obviously, you have given all of us very good reasons to distrust you on that basis.

5- You are the only one here using these dis-info tactics you are so critical of. Calling All Corbeteers! Remember?

I’m not saying you are a paid dis-info; I just think you’re a lying little putz. I certainly wouldn’t pay you for any info if I were an intelligence agent. JimBob who really just as no respect at all for anyone who acts in such a ridiculous manner as old Drunky from Saudi who lives in the highest humidity desert this old redneck has ever heard of.

mkey, how else would it go down so quickly? Yes, I know you’re kidding. I think it’s great that who/or multiple losers would take the time to go back and downvote them. At least it keeps them from actually doing anything productive. Note how the voice of alcohol has blown up this entire section? Maybe his “handlers” are in the place of fortress (or whatever that funny needle was called) and don’t want it discussed. After all, it seems a lot like the wolf is crying wolf as he is the only one here who meets the criteria he keeps screaming about. Not that I think he is any paid dis-info. I think he is an idiot and possibly suffering from paranoid scizoiphrenia, but that won’t stop me from poking him with a stick. After all, I’ve known a number of PS people and they weren’t all jerks. Just because you are a head case doesn’t mean you can’t be a decent person.

Hey Drunken Arab, why didn’t you respond to my observations? Is it because they are true? Why have you hijacked this section? Are you dis-info? Why don’t you want us to talk about driver less cars? Don’t you want to allow people to think about controlling their own direction in life? Their own destiny? Why are you shilling so loud? JimBob who can question all day long about drunken arabs.

Mik, I gamed the system and gave him at least 20 total to date. I even toyed with the idea to give everyone the same amount (i.e. universal karma system) but it really is of no importance to me. I ignore the whole shebang, the only one really hurting here is the confusing post order.

mik, I not only don’t know how it went up, I don’t care. After all, little twits like you who just go and call others creatures; are hardly the sort I care about. I’m not sure how your little ass even thinks it’s important. Don’t you have enough faith in yourself to not need external validation? Or are you less than a man? Creature? Really? from a mik? JimBob who has a good bit of mick in him, but not one drop of mik.

Dear drunky, Arab is a culture, not a race. After all, you are Semitic. Just like the Jews. So please get your insults right. Can you get anything right? So far, all you’ve done is call others liars and dis-info when you are the one guilty of both. JimBob who is a true redneck but wonders just how stupid this makes the Voice of Alcohol since he is obviously far less intelligent than the supposed imbeciles he is practicing his dis-info with.

What does the Akismet issue have to do with this comment section? And once again, I see you deflect. Typical tactic of the dis-info. JimBob who thinks that the drunken arab is confusing himself with being a real man. Real men DO stand by what they say and don’t deflect like a dog.

What does you ignorance (knowingly?) of how the internet works have to do with the subject of this section? Oh wait! You ARE propaganda! My Bad. JimBob who notes that the drunk never answers anything, just deflects like a lowly dog.

Yes, the same agenda of telling you the truth and noting your bs time after time. You have proven yourself to be a liar, drunky. Your own words have done this. Now what do you have against the REAL topic which is supposed to be addressed here? You know, PROPAGANDA. After all, you could have started up your non-argument in the same section you finally became “aware” of your data being captured on the web (Oh say it isn’t so!) the first time. That would have been appropriate. However, you’ve chosen to go full retard here. Are you unable to get your meds where you are at? JimBob who don’t even know mkey or this idiot drunken arab, but he definitely doesn’t like the drunk cuz he’s a proven liar.

1) Popularity contests and beauty pageants are won by the biggest arse-hole. Call it karma, air-miles, carrots, rewards, votes, points.. A rose is a rose is a rose. The gaming experiment is amusing but distasteful to at least one “Corbeteer”.

2) Requiem for the Suicided…. people eliminated for doing precisely what Corbett does to earn a living… Is it possible that Corbett is (unwittingly or not) a Pied Piper: identifying the rodents and separating them from the masses so they can be studied and accordingly dealt with…? If there are powerful people who will make whistle blowers disappear, why does this whistle blowing site persist? Would our comments be of interest to TPTSB?

m. claire, I’m not in a popularity contest. I’m just smashing the voice of alcohol. Is it mature? No. But I never said I was. If you had paid attention to what I wrote about the karma, you might have noted that I find it hilarious. After all, I know none of you here, so why would the opinions of people whom I don’t even know matter to me? Even in the real world, very few people’s opinions of me matter. However, I did get tired of being called dis-info and a liar by someone who has proved that to be true of their own damn self. And as to the powers that cower on a whistle blower site; 1- this isn’t a whistle blower site. That is a whole separate matter. 2- I seriously doubt anyone of those powers that cower worry about Mr. Corbett or any of his subscribers. I suspect they are far too busy actually doing whatever it is they do. JimBob who ain’t got nothing really to do since the rain just keeps on falling all through July.

HRS, there are certain traits which I don’t accept. Dishonesty and cowardice. If one cannot be honest with someone, then one cannot trust anything they say. In that case, there is no further reason to talk with them; only to them. The cowardice is associated with passive aggressive behavior. This is a trait I always associate with weakness. As no chain is stronger than it’s weakest link, I don’t allow such weakness to associate itself with me. While others may call me rude, crude, and socially unacceptable; I don’t care. I know who I am, and I also know what sort of character traits I will allow to associate with me. Weakness is one of the worst sins a person can commit. While a strong person might be wrong, they at least have the strength of their convictions; a weak passive aggressive person lacks this conviction. Think back to any involvement you’ve had in your activism that went south. Chances are, that failure was stemming from people like that. JimBob who CAN be polite; but only to those who are themselves polite.

They will be at the table together, telling jokes & drinking beers, next week.

I’ve always admired that ability of ya’ll men. This was truly a sad development. Calling someone a liar ought to be a sober, thoroughly proven, final conviction, not a casual suspicion lacking evidence, the latter being VoA’s habit.

Even so, I attribute his habit of suspicion to being immersed in a totalitarian government, together with his self-education illustrating the truly disturbing nature of our world. A mind already given to question everything (which is itself a good trait and one I beseech my own children to do) could easily begin to unduly suspect every unfortunate person and thing. Wisdom must accompany knowledge.

Pearl, to be suspicious of all is a sign of one’s own character, not a society. What we find most appalling in others is usually the weakness in ourselves. To question authority is good, but to be suspicious of all is a character flaw. But to associate with such people is to allow them the ability to infect you with their short-comings. The passive aggressive aspect is an important part of this equation. Passive aggressive (in redneck it’s called someone who comes at you all sideways) is a distinct trait of the so-called beta personality. This is the weaker person who always snipes at others while pretending to be holier than thou. They always remind me of those annoying little ankle biting dogs that are never going to be friendly, but are simply always seeking an opportunity to bite your ankle. They do this because they are too lazy to develop themselves, so they prefer to tear down others so they can have company in their self-created muck of an existence. After all, if you refuse to stand on your own feet like a real man/woman, and you want to be higher than another; you must either find someone lower than you or tear someone down to your own level or lower. They are poison. Me? I know I’m an asshole, but I’m okay with that. JimBob who notes that those people who call others liars all the time are generally the biggest liars in the group.

…to be suspicious of all is a sign of one’s own character, not a society.

As usual, JimBob, you always have a good grasp of human behavior, yours included. I’ve always appreciated your honesty and ability to see/say it like it is. As I mentioned to VoA last week, I know a man who sees a demon behind every bush; it’s exhausting and defeating. Because of my own experience with such, I should’ve known better than to blame such behavior on society (or education, or upbringing etc) and thereby play the enabler.

Don’t worry Pearl. I often do things that I should know better than to do myself! People in those societies don’t speak up. They remain quiet for a good reason. As to where he is from, no one here knows that answer. After all, it’s just a screen name. While mine is I Shot Santa, his reindeer were simply too quick on the hoof for me to get that shot! However, it could just be what they term a mental illness. Paranoia and all that; though I distrust the entire field of psychiatry. I think those trusted fields have been corrupted long ago. Now is this paranoia on my part? I think not, but one must always question oneself first. And that can get so tiring! 🙂 JimBob who tries to only get suspicious of people/things/events when they touch on him or his directly. Otherwise, he’d have to break out a sweat and that ain’t happening!

This case is just a bit too far out there. I really dislike being called a liar without some solid proof. I backed up the information I had to provide and in the end it’s down to each individual to choose whom to trust. One person with a sizable body of work and quite a positive worldly reputation, or the other who has a tendency to ignore easily accessible information and throw insults while bemoaning how others are doing the same.

Reminds me a bit too much of associations such as the anti-defamation league with their hit and cry tactics which appears to render most people completely defenseless. Well, not this subscriber.

By the way, since RussiaGate is such a big deal; and the FISA memo is such a big deal; here’s the link to the Nunes fisa memo that has everyone in an uproar. As if this tells anyone anything really different:

JimBob who also notes that no one is talking about how the home builders Association is going to have a hard time creating all those jobs they keep committing to in that 4 million job commitment gala that trumpy just had if mortgage applications are going down so much.

Besides the obvious propaganda about the vehicle–you are being “denied” this technology, becoming the “hook” that makes Normies want it even more, what a forum to reinforce marketing negative gender stereotypes. Helpless, hapless female. Swashbuckling, hero male. Further, if anyone remembers, the heads-up display was first seen worldwide on Star Wars–how many decades ago?

And just where is that biometric and heath info (OMG!) going? Third parties, people. Third parties. While on the face of it the technology is a good thing, like Alexa, Dot, FB, Twitter, et al it’s going to be used for very bad things. PROMISE.

Thanks, James, for breaking it down so the hapless females and swashbuckling males out there can possibly see it–somewhere, sometime, in Neverland.

Thought this was important. North Korea dismantling key nuclear facilities. I think that James, among all of us here, has the most reason to be happy about this development. And you know you can trust the source; the NYT never lies!

If the programmers allow the vehicles to break the speed limit it would not only make a mockery of the entire (safe) autonomous vehicle industry, but also make a mockery of the laws currently on the books worldwide.

In addition, should an accident occur and the downloadable data in the autonomous vehicles indicates they were speeding, culpability for the accident could more easily be blamed on these vehicles.

So here is what happened…
One day I was watching this “American Chemical Society” YouTube video about plants which offered better, or as good, mosquito repellant action as DEET.https://hooktube.com/watch?v=cUUeb_ZAr3Y

SciShow and Healthcare Triage seem connected by the Green brothers, who were pumped up when Google awarded money to certain YouTube videos during their $100 million initiative.
SciShow – Why Is Fluoride Good for Teeth?https://hooktube.com/watch?v=TyVV0UDQ_f4
Healthcare Triage – Fluoride in the Water Isn’t Going to Hurt Youhttps://hooktube.com/watch?v=6Hml1CL0Idk
On the above Healthcare Triage video, my blood boils at the first blatant lie (30 seconds into the video).
Note the screen script with the “an IQ which was lower by 0.45 points”.
BIG LIE!
Read this short article at the World’s Largest Fluoride Database which exposes the lie …http://fluoridealert.org/content/bulletin_6-20-18/

Seeker is another pro-fluoride propaganda YouTube channel. It seems to be controlled by the same major media folks who have “The Discovery Channel” & “The Learning Channel”.Why The Government Puts Fluoride In Our Waterhttps://hooktube.com/watch?v=XuMxAB9q92E

But,
I was happily surprised by this recent June 2018 Fluoride video put out by a corporation called GAIA.
Often, when I visit YouTube I get those “intro YouTube ads” which talk about GAIA.Gaia – The Actual Truth About Fluoridehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAagzF6D-nE
The video is spot on.

From the “Reactions” video, the guy says “well, if you eat a lot of sugar…” you should stop eating a lot of sugar. Sweat it off, shake the addiction and move on. The end.

What I find the largest issue here is that all of this is a massive involuntary medication. People who can’t understand fluoride and its effect, they should grasp a simple concept such a mandatory medication.

I personally believe that industry (Dupont, Dow, Big Pharma, chemical makers, mining and manufacturing, etc.) still have a vested and strong interest in fluoride. (Witness the Division of Fluorine with the American Chemical Society.)
Many pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and other products are made using fluoride.
If the word “Fluoride” became demonized like the words “Lead” or “Arsenic” or “Mercury”, then it could create a poor public image for their industry’s products. Big industry has no profitable vested interest in protecting the health of people.

We know that big industry influences corporate media.
Thus it is easy to see why these YouTube Channels have an ulterior agenda. The YouTube Channels “Reactions”, “SciShow”, “Healthcare Triage”, and “Seeker” cannot give all the true facts about fluoride.

For years, our corrupt administrators of U.S. agencies have deliberately had an agenda to ignore the dangers of fluoridation.
Certainly, they would lose credibility if they suddenly declared fluoride the poison that it is.
I think that the same is true for the American Dental Association (ADA).

There are many instances of how the EPA and ADA dramatically thwarted their own scientific studies when the findings showed the toxicity of fluoride.

Just released today on YouTube…
A fun 3 minutes about toxic water pollution by Melissa Gallico.
Preview of F Is for Fluoride – A Lecture about Toxic Water Pollution by Dr. Felicia LeFishhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-2y9uEEj8g

Well, it certainly isn’t responding to fires down here anyway. We had a fire across the street (about a year and a half ago) and it took the fire department fifteen minutes to travel the two miles. I got to be the first responder, yea! And in an inspection of one of our apartments, as the owner was prepping for a remodel, the inspector declared that since the apartment they were inspecting was the only one with two door exits, that that door had to be closed off to equal outcome the rest. JimBob who notes that none of these public savior organizations save much of anything ‘sides their own asses. Note how they only looked out for their own keesters in this case.

While there is good news here, in that the trade wars are gone with us and the eu; there is very bad news for the eu as well. Those soybeans? All gmo. Plus, soybeans aren’t that good for you. True, fermented is (miso and the like), but the omega 3 and 6 ratios are supposedly way out of whack. At any rate, I never eat tofu anyway. Nor do I like to eat meat out of a store. If I don’t kill it, I don’t trust it. Which also cuts down on my meat eating as I’m a wuss on killing. Even though that bass tasted pretty nice pan-fried with a mustard base and white flour on it. I was out of eggs so I substituted the mustard. Which I had made myself and it is incredible!

Also, on the Q thing. Note that this is a typical Q video. Everyone just accepts it is the NSA and then just rides the wave anyway. Also note, if you can watch this video (I recommend at an increased speed), that all of these media sources are on sites one would expect to take them down. Facebook and Twitter, besides being their own deep state media, are notorious for taking down such controversial sites; but they let them stay. Now, think about this; even if everything these people say is true; does that mean the people removing and replacing them are our friends? Think back to your Machiavelli and Sun Tzu for that one! Or even Frank Herbert (in one of his opening quotes in his Dune masterpieces, he wrote “The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend” or something like that. It’s been a few years since I’ve read his, and his son’s excellent homage series, books.

People are NOT questioning, and these are the very people who would have been questioning earlier. JimBob who thinks this is a very interesting psy-op, but that nothing is ever as it seems in politics. Unless it’s very, very, very bad. Then that’s definitely true.

Side bar: Just noticed that youboob just doesn’t notify people (or at least me) if someone replies to a comment on a youboob video. Interesting way to run a business into the ground.

Q has announced themself as an actual person when they had a photo inside Air Force One. But he actually says he is working with “patriots” within the intelligence community. So, this psyop sells itself by proclaiming it is straight from the depths of hell. And it has been confirmed that Trumpy is in on it. It’s fascinating to follow; but even though it uses truth; that is the most ingenious way to lie. Remember always, they speak of freedom, but the wall keeps us in and the RealID keeps us either plugged in or out all the way. It certainly is an exciting time to be alive in the belly of the beast. JimBob who likes having a front row seat anyway.

Last night I watched a film called ZOE. The moral of this modern love story seems to be, if we make AI humnoids as human as possible and then “lie to them” when they’re activated, telling them they’re human for a certain amount of time before revealing to them their true “condition”,

and as long as we love them deeply, as much or more than we love actual humans, and treat them as human

everything will be O.K..

Besides having an ambiance similar to the one in an eerie movie called Perfect Sense where over the backdrop of a modern “love story” little by little humans lose all of their senses due to a virus,

in Zoe, people dehumanize themselves by taking a drug called Benysol which makes you “fall in love with” the person you happen to be with at the moment. Works for longstanding couples, too.

I guess the hasty moral of this comment is, (with the movie The Circle in mind whose catch phrases have been adopted in “real life” (i.e.; sharing is caring)) if you look at mainstream media

So many great propaganda examples have been offered on this thread! For me, the bigger challenge is isolating what isn’t propaganda. I’m getting irritated by the deluge of political movies being cranked out such as Zero Dark Thirty, Thirteen Hours,, The Fifth Estate, The Post.

But here’s something I saw the other day, and it was so touching, I rushed to my keyboard to sign up…not:

Thanks HRS, I remember when that monorail first came out. Sometime between 01 and 03. The biggest opposition to it was that people were afraid Blacks would get out of the hoods. I’m a little shocked at the population; I think it was about 4 mill when I lived there. I used to live off Spring valley near the tollway. It makes sense for the initial roll-out of self-driving paddy wagons (at least for people like me) to have their own lanes. An earlier poster did note how they would have to tag everything somehow for this, though I’m sure they have technology to get around that. Unless it’s like a Microsoft Beta release! JimBob who doesn’t miss the traffic on the LBJ one little bit. And what is up with those mystery stops? 90 mph to 0 for no apparent reason.

After years of construction, they redid LBJ. In a way, the new LBJ is hard to figure out, because some lanes are short tunnels or over-heads, and they also have the express lanes plus your regular lanes.

It just keeps growing and growing here. Lots of people moving in. Lots of construction and new homes or new apartment complexes. Weekly I run into people who just moved here.

I remember in my complex, there were only two neighbors that I knew anything about. One was a couple who had recommended the place to me. The other was another couple that were just great people. But, it was there that I truly learned what it was like to not even want to know your neighbor. This was when they had just started flipping apartment complexes. Maintenance went down, Mexican gangs came in (and this was a nice area), drive-byes became the norm. But, outside of that aspect of it, there were tons of great people living there. Mostly overweight, as the restaurants are so good! But I don’t miss the traffic or the ability to see the stars at night. It was a good night if we saw the moon, much less the stars. JimBob who also still likes to find the bunny rabbits and T-Rexes in the clouds.

Good news at last! This CBS news clip not only covers FB stock price drop (though they were lying about it being fake news that lowered it; at least the fake news they are referring in this clip), but they talk about twitter’s shadow banning which trumpy apparently referenced earlier. The Zuck going to bed the richest and waking up the eighth richest gave me a nice warm fuzzy until I realized that was still a lot higher net worth than our entire town. JimBob who ain’t exactly helping to raise that average his own dang self.:
